binational map keeps smoothness?

47 Views Asked by At

Let $E$ be a smooth curve, that is, one dimensional projective variety with dimension one, and Jacobi matrix is non-singular at any point. And suppose that the map $φ$, which sends $E$ to $E'$, is birational. Birational means there are two rational maps on both direction which composites identity.

Then, can we say that $E'$ is smooth?
